Screenwriter Shinji Nojima has created a social phenomenon with numerous works that deeply explore social taboos and issues of the human heart, such as “The Teacher,” “High School Under the Hitoro Yone,” and “The 101st Proposal.” This film is a documentary that closely follows Nojima, who has never used SNS and has rarely appeared in the media. In this program, through the first close footage of Shinji Nojima enduring the abyss of his creation, we will unravel how a young man who was once a “rootless weed” somehow became the darling of his time. From the strange secret story behind his debut, to his legendary writing technique of “shorthanding the conversations in his head,” to his unique language sense of choosing words based on the “sound of sound,” and even his frank talk about modern TV dramas, this book begins to reveal the true face of madness and love that one creator has continued to ask. In addition, the movie “Shinji Nojima is a dog fan, but he owns a cat” will be screened as a complete version, including unreleased footage, adding time and perspectives that could not be fully depicted on TV. Why does Shinji Nojima’s story move the hearts of viewers so much?
